i prefer outsump models because it doesnt pass heat into the tank, anyway it was only a small hiccup that was solves in 5 mins
-

another view
back overflow with 2 return outlet
platform to sit my 1st gen reef octopus bubble blaster external skimmer and sump 1st compartment
the 2nd part of the sump, looks like 2nd compartment is gonna be a refugium
pipings for changing water , i can now drain out 1st compartment and 2nd compartment's water while leaving main tank circulating with wavemakers
view of tank from main door ( uncompleted so got a gap on top
thats all for today, more of this photojournal tomorrow, awaiting minor works to the cabinet and the silicon for the pipings to cure for 24 hours before i start adding water
-
wah lau eh brooooooo , y not 1 month earlier lol
-
lol bro james such a old tank thread u dig out
-
It should b safe coz the 1 pipe is pretty thick n i need the height for detritus to settle in the 1st compartment , trying not to use any filter at all if possible, n its not a great concept lar just being stingy n save the wattage on q feeding pump to the skimmer
-
the skimmer is external not in the top glass tank, that is just a 1st compartment for detritus from the main tank to settle so i can siphon it away easily if water flow there is too strong then i'll add a filter sock
skimmer is fed by gravity
In-tank refugium
